work long enough to consider the i'm
portance of this movement, to spend

lied on a purely business basis, and is
expected to be of substantial pecuniary
benefit to it's members. There is no
doubt that our agricultural interest is
already greatly improving, and the
intercourse of the farmers with those
who are more experienced in the new
crops will hasten the profitable produc.
ton of the same and make the cult
walton of them more general.
The question of transportation, pur-
chases, commissions and many other
benefits that will accure from combina-
ton suggest themselves to an e%nterpris-
ing farmer. Wake up and add the
rich wealth of our agricultural interest
to the fishing and lumber interests and
we will soon have a more substantial
boom than that of Birmingham. Gen.
tlemen this matter is in your own
hands; will you avail yourselves of it's
benefits ?-E. City Falcon.
In putting down butter for winter
use in a small way, there is nothing
better than large, well-glazed crooks,
with v c~lose-ftting and glazed
inside as we'll as outside. Glazing on
the inside of covers is often neglected,
and when it is, the porous earthern,
which is a powerful absorbent, soon
becomes loaded with foul matter that
gives off bad odors and infests what
ever the crock may contain. The
packing should be solid and the butter
reach to within one inch Of the top of
the crock and the butter covered with
bleached muslin free from any starch
Or sizing. The jar should then be
filled with all the salt it will hold and
snugly pressed down. Then turn on
a little pure water-just enough to
rise to one-half the depth of the salt
and no higher. Brine on the butter
with dry salt on top makes a better
protection than all brine or all dry
salt. Then cover as closelyas possible
and set in a cold dry cellar-not On
the ground but up a little from the
ground-and if the butter is all right
when it is packed, it may reasonably
be expectedtobe sound next winter.

Cooking Ranges, take pleasure in recon-
mending them to III friends and neigh

pronounce them a grand success and in
every respect as good as represented by
the statesmen. We are perfectly satisfied
with our purchase. We believe them to
be superior in every way to cast iron
stoves and in the long run much the
cheapest. In addition to their good
baking qualities and economy of fuel,
they furnish the greatest abundance of
hot water, which is a very great conven-
fence. In conclusion will say, buy a

antee you will not regret the purchase.

A Combination which Gives It's Victims
Not Even Fighting Chance.


1t would be we'll If those who arc in
the habit of spcculatng in grain and
stocks through the "buckct-shops"
could be brought to understand just
how many the chances are against
them, and how exceedingly improbable
1t is that they will not lose all the
money they elbow i'm to these cstab-
lishments.
There are supposed to be about 5000
"bucket-shops" now in operation
throughout the country. Many of
them are backed by rich men, whose
names are kept behind the scenes, and
they form combinations with each
other and operate in such u manner
that the business of swindling their
customers has been reduced to n fine
art. One of these combines" is un-
dcrstood to include over hundred
"bucket-shops' in various parts of the
country, all connected by private
wires. and having central Office in
New York.
Now suppose that in each one of
these places on certain day n custo-
mer buys 100 shares of some particular
stock. He puts up 800 to cover mar
gins. This protects his stock so long
as it does not d cline per cent, but
the moment there is sale on the New
York Stock Exchange Mt l per cent.
lower than the price he paid, his 800 is
swept into the Golfers of the "bucket-
shop" Now 300 in each of the shops
of the combine" means $4,000 to the
united management, and the central
Office in New York, with this informa-
ton before it, can well afford to force {,
sale on the exchange at II price just low
enough to rake in the pot. Its agent
is on the floor, and word telcphoned
into his ear is all that is needed Down
goes the quotation to the desired point,
and the margins of hundred spccu-
lators are swept away.
That there is no fighting chance for
the "lambs' against combination
thus equipped should be patent to the
most shallow-pated individual. Yet it
is against precisely such combinations
of money, sharp practice and skuldug-
gerry, that the "lamb" pits himself
when he opens an account with the
"bucket-shop." Now and then, in the
case of a long-continued rise or fall in
the market, the speculator may win,
but these occasions are rare. About
ninety-nine times out of hundred the
certainty is against him and he is pre-
destined to failure. Chicago Journal.

PASTE DIAMONDS.
How New York Petidlcr Substituted Them
for Genuine Gems.

How New York Peddlcr Substituted Them
for Genuine Gems.
A new sphere of action has suddenly
opened up for the itinerant jeweler.
Theodore Hahr, a Swede, about thirty
three years of age, a jewelcr by trade,
has recently held the position of butler
in some of the bost families of New
York and vicinity. Recently it was
discovered that he has been systemat-
ically robbing his successive employers
by substituting paste limitations for the
family diamonds and quitting service
soon afterward. He remained in one
place only long enough to accomplish
his purpose. The scheme was novel
and successful, and might have been
carried much further but for n little
circumstance that bordered on .acci-
dent.
The wife of gentleman, in whose
service Hair had been for short time,
drove down to Tiffany's with u pair of
valuable diamond earrings, rs she sup
posed, which her husband had bought
there. The settings had become little
obsolete and she wanted them altered.
The clerk who received them told her
they were paste.
She communicated the fact to her
husband, who reported the case to the
police. Detectives were set to work
and succeeded in arresting their man.
Before Hahr had been long in durancc
other victims of his thefts appeared to
make complaint against him. He made
clean breast of it, and gave an ac-
count of his methods.
He said he had access to the rooms
where the jewelry was kept, and that
he measured the diamonds with n COM
pass and bought imitation stones of the
same size for one dollar apiece. AS he
had learned the jewelry trade he was
able to set the bogus stones in work
manlike manner, and the change passed
unnoticed. A large portion of the stnl.
en- jewelry was recovered from pawn.
